Does anyone know the make of this bar?? It doesn't seem to be a westin 'cause they don't offer one for my year. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/719074

xplor4x...took the words out of my mouth!! always need to be prepared for the worst!!!

no, no, no, i mean leave the old one (cooler) in the radiator and run regular oil lines to it...then adding a more efficient tranny cooler outside of the radiator...now what d'ya think??

anywhoo...what is seafoam?? i thought it was a cleaner?

maybe someone here has done it once before, but now i ask.... --->first does the tranny fluid get as hot as the oil in your engine??? --->can i add an aftermarket tranny cooler and use the old tranny cooler as an oil cooler? --->would there really be any use/gain to my nonsense? holler back!! anybody!

well, i would have to say as an update that my milage has returned to its normal self....problem with that is since i cleaned the MAF the truck has been much more peppy--like the cold air is working now--and i can't keep my foot out of her!!! so to get my old milage with the fun i've been having.....sweet :bow:

I have sat in the shadows, wether it was a new pathy or old in the shadows, and i try not to have diarrhea of the mouth, but, if this were not social and technical i for one would not have joind. in the world there are many many people that are diverse and different and to a degree all of us want to be different, but i really enjoy talking here to people that i at least percieve that are nearly the same as me...its nice having a place to be at your own leasure with no expectations that you can talk about a truck and even other things that you love and indeed i too am really busy with 2 jobs a wife and a three year old. for sure if the post time thingy were accurate then you would note that all my post times are either in the early morning or late late late in the evening

already put over 50 miles on new tank o' gas and no needle move...i am terribly excited this may be the beggining of something!!! remember i am a happy Nissan FAN even at the last tanks misrable 11.5 mpg (with tire size adjustment)!! If this truck can attain that 16 mpg or even 15 mpg my cup shall over-runnith!!!

ok i cleaned my MAF today and did notice a little more spunk also, in addition i reset my computer and filled up the tank...($2.15 gal today) there was little bits of black junk on the MAF--88 is this what you too got off yours?? i could pass the small, small specks as carbon if i didn't know that they couldn't get there throught the air filter.

sensor 2 is the one after the kitty converter...did both of mine...check this post from way previous http://npora.ipbhost.com//index.php?showto...40&hl=O2+sensor this will give all answers! ----I'm so used to having it there, its like a littie guiding light telling me that, "Hey, you're trucks on."....LOL. ----------------------------------------------------------- Vengeful that is hilarious mine is indeed the same and i too have the same sudden concern when she goes off!!!

yep, i have the Discovery AT II's and they are sweet, enough road tread but great handling in other stuff too!! Mty treadwear seems to be well rated.

eeesh derogate , do you live in Virginia... in Maryland that MS-13 gang is getting mad attention, they are reported by TV news (which is always hard to figure truth or fiction) that they randomly attack folks with machette's, but i have a friend much closer to the action himself that says it is not random but focused on those that are haters of their ethnicityand basically it sounds as if you just need to maintain that old golden rule. you just never know the kind of life someone had or where they came from to know what attitude means what...the ethnicity is mainly El Salvadorian...my details are bland too though any more it just seems like everyone is always trying to be the bigger terrorist :furious:

so does that mean that you guys tried it or not?? I too was thinking of trying to obtain this 10% gain...even 10% would gt me about 20 miles more out of a tank..thus one free gallon. I can live with that. If intake plenum spacers work (with their semi-swirled shape) i don't see why putting a small spin in the begining would yeild zilch...besides it is the only option i can find anywhere for improving gas milage on an engine that just seems to work very hard to maintain. ....lil' help from any angle on the gas saving tips (other than reg. maint.) would be sweet...i know that those little girl tires the truck came with probably did roll better!!

Not to worry, when i am in my slo-crx (14.1 quarter) i wait for them to do things like this so i let them over then thrash them....dam kids with cars they shouldn't be able to afford!!! I had to wait until about 22 to get such a toy and my first rig this year at 26... ...the world is all f-d up BUT (caution in the wind) these are also the kids that can't really handle their vehicle and end up in herrendous crashes and are morned over....then months later there are new signs or something until the next bunch of the same type idiot tears the signs down laughing....eeeesh graves are chillly

That's a very cool diagram you found there Pezzy!! Those flares have the screw/bolts that go under the flare like shown but also some type of push pin that would push through the fender from under the truck out into the flare before you re-assemble the splash underneath....i think i am going to use chalk or something to line up the littl push pin holes....that is the best that i can come up with...pics for sure !!!

If anyone has ever stuck flares on their XE, could you please tell me how you lined up the holes in the flair as well as what attachment hardware you used. I am getting close to having a full set!! Special thanks to Vengeful!! Of course any ideas are welcome!!

i would second that...but does that stuff cost MR JIM more??

O-K I am getting about 13.5 mpg and that is after the adjustment for the 255/70/16's...what on earth is wrong with my truck??? That is city only and it does get the chance to run for about 15 sec on my walk out to it (yay for remote starts!!) I have done the two secondary O2's, fuel filter, and i knew about the TB cleaning idea so that's done too. intake,muffler and larger piping past the kitty's. plugs/wires/cap/rotor are all under 3k truck has 88k you guys think it is the other O2's in the headers???

I too had clunking... front and back. in the front was the endlinks..they do pop over bumps and braking, but they will consistently pop if you sway your rig back and forth like indy car racers do to keep their tires hot the rear turned out to be all bushing...i had all of them replaced including the panhard bar...............but now i have this late clunk that pops when making a full stop and the truck rests back on its suspension if i stop at a light with the truck in "N" then nothing but when in drive...clunk. does anyone know how to tell if a transmission mount is bad???? :gossip:

88, When i see stuff like this it makes me want to sell the '98 and go back a few years!!! way to go i am a sucker for key matched parts!!! Chris

Yo man, check out this site....this guy has many many many transponders on ebay all the time at great prices...havn't bought one yet though. I got a 2001 altima and put a remote start on it, it needed a key to go into the alrms "lock box" so it could verify that the car was being started by an owner. I had to give up a key to go in it, luckly once remote started i can use an el cheapo key from lowes to drive with. www.locksmithcharley.com/transponder.html

have to pull a BUMPITY-BUMP this poll is quietly getting interesting :secret:

The idea here is to try and cut price gouging, create jobs and make the gov't acknolwedge the problem, as they are currently dodging it. Many brothers and sister across the world being killed while we are at home paying for the war in many, many too many ways (i.e. lives/loved ones, heartache, taxes, gas prices).

I just have one question....where on earth did you find spacers for sale??? I would love to have some, but can't find any

snosnk... you're my kind of guy!! that is an ingenious way of loosening....but unfortunately my luck would break the starter!! Way to go for the least erffort with the greatest output!!!
